Why can’t Modi travel by road to Kashi ?

Speaking at a road show in Varanasi, former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal dared the Gujarat CM Narendra Modi to travel by road to Varanasi. “Why can’t the Gujarat CM travel by road to Kashi ?”, Kejriwal asked the people and warned them not to vote for Modi, who would always use the helicopters for his travels.

Modi was also criticized by Kejriwal for his planned visit to the Benares Hindu University tomorrow, citing that the founder of the country’s top educational institution – Madan Mohan Malviya – never allowed any politician to enter its campus. Modi is also slated to visit the Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapith later. Kejriwal criticized Modi’s plans for using the helicopter to land in both of these places.

People of Amethi have been cheated by Rahul Gandhi

Speaking also about his visit to Amethi, where he campaigned for his party’s candidate Kumar Vishwas, the AAP leader got very vocal against Rahul Gandhi. He told that the people of Amethi were cheated by the Congress party for decades, as they have been winning from this constituency, but doing nothing for the people there.

Varanasi gets heated up as Kejriwal & Modi will file nominations

The temple town of Varanasi has become the ground for epic battles to be seen during the 2014 general elections to the Lok Sabha. The Aam Admi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal will file his nomination today to contest against the BJP supremo and its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.

Varanasi will vote on 12th of May.

The BJP has announced Modi’s candidature to win the hearts of millions of people from the Hindu heartland of the Uttar Pradesh.
Modi is slated to file his nomination tomorrow.

Dr. Murli Manohar Joshi, is the sitting MP from Varanasi, who won against Mukhtar Ansari of BSP in the 2009 elections. It could be recalled that Dr. Joshi, despite his unwillingness, was asked to contest from Kanpur this time, paving way for Modi’s contest from the Hindu heartland.
